Finished The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril by Paul Malmont. It features Lester Dent the creator of Doc Savage and Walter Gibson the creator of the Shadow in their own pulpish adventure along with L. Ron Hubbard and Robert Heinlein. H.P Lovecraft also makes an appearance. It's a fun read especially if you're familiar with the authors.
There's a sequel which I actually read first called The Astounding, the Amazing, the Unknown which takes place about 10 years later during WWII. John Campbell's Astounding SF magazine is putting the earlier pulps out of business and his writers, Isaac Asimov, Bob Heinlein, and L. Sprague DeCamp are working together at the Naval Yard in Philadelphia. This time they try to solve a science fictionish mystery involving Nicolas Tesla with L.Ron Hubbard tagging along. Again it's a lot of fun especially if you're familiar with the characters.
Next up is The Cloud Atlas.
